Changed the cheap aftermarket "Bike-It" mini indicators (10watt bulbs) back to OEM standard ones after mate following said he couldnt see them working in bright sunlight and the stalks on rear ones hardly cleared number plate. Didnt want to give any cagers the excuse of saying "You didnt signal!
The alternative would have been to go with led lights but couldnt be bothered to fit resistors-i am getting lazy as well as old! :lol
Good man. Never been into mini indicators either. Maybe it is an age thing :rolleyes

I was following a car the other day with blacked out indicator covers? What's all that about then?
When he went to turn left i could just about see a faint light flashing underneath, there's no way they can be legal, plus they look shite as well.

Managed with patience to free off one of the front brake bleed screws that someone previously decided to seriously overtighten. Now got nice stainless steel ones fitted (Powerhouse) so when I come to overhaul front calipers during winter job will hopefully be easier.
What is it with some people thinking "i will just tighten a bit more for luck!!"

decided to remove gear linkage/pedal & footrest assy. There is excessive side play in the gear lever-cause was missing "wave washer"-presume broke up & bits fell off. New one on order from local dealer. Also bought 2 of those plastic push & twist thingies that Yamaha call rivets that hold fairing infill panels in place £1-32 each & in stock so now one less rattle to listen to. :lol

Bought and fitted (well, got the engineers to fit...) a cheapo top box onto my Renntec rack.
This one:

about £35 all in, seems ok, time will tell, good so far, does what it says on the tin.

Did a proper Repair to the Speedo sensor wires again as after another break in the wires I stripped the covering back as far as i could get it and there was a repair nearly every 1 inch and I stripped back the covering back about 15 inches. Also fitted the Renntec rack I got from ebay for £45 so I finally now have my topbox on the bike rather than it being sat in the garage for months gathering dust
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - Dave48 - 15-09-16
Removed front brake calipers, cleaned pads of road dust,cleaned pistons and relubed with red rubber grease, copper grease on back of pads, pad pin. Changed brake fluid using a 30ml syringe & length of narrow bore rubber hose topping up reservoir with fresh fluid until clean fluid came through bleed screws. Tools away & out for a ride in the mid-September sunshine. :lol Note to self -replace pads before next years riding season ( so thats January I guess)

Finally got around to a bit of winter prep. Downpipes keyed and sprayed with the good ol' back to black. Centerstand got a hammeriting (a couple of touch ups on the frame too), under the tank got a dose of PTFE spray while I was at it. Next weeks job is some fresh oil and oil filter and a magnetic sump plug. Account for fresh front pads and some wheel paint + stickers and its made for an expensive month, but it will hopefully keep her tidy.
Had a look at the front sprocket, I couldn't believe the amount of chain lube/ road crap that had built up in there! :eek :eek :eek

Broadsheets newspapers far superior to tabloids & possibly the best use for any of them? The Saturday Telegraph provides enough material for spray paint work on bikes,oil changes & under the cat feeding bowls. :lol

In my opinion the most necessary mod ever for the all year round rider, i couldn't be without them.
Never tried Oxford ones, but tried a few others and the current ones i have fitted are the best i've ever had with loads of settings, the top setting being VERY hot. I never thought i'd ever get to use it but when the weather drops below zero they still kick out some savage heat, which none of the previous brands have ever matched. I literally cannot understand how any winter rider can deal with riding without them.
Although i have always wanted hand guards as well on my handlebars but the space for them simply isn't there.
